Classic whataboutism and both sides are the same in a single sentence? wow thats a new record!

Trump's pardons far exceed what Biden did in terms of scope and corruption. Trump's literally collecting bribes for pardons. There has been multiple confirmed, documented cases of someone donating to his reelection fund or buying trump coins, and then receiving a pardon in short order.

This is blatant misrepresentation to try and justify the unprecedented corruption by the current administration. He will be documented as the most corrupt president ever, even surpassing U.S.Grant for the title.

The recent Hell Let Loose: Vietnam beta was a disaster. Particularly the networking. In a game that prioritizes long range engagements due to its mil-sim like gameplay, they somehow left enabled a feature that de-prioritized tick updates for elements beyond 100m. The overall effect was that, for all enemies further than 100m, their tick rate dropped to 1 update /s. It was laughable.

But for what its worth, the graphics were nice. This however, was on a 4090.

I can pick out a creation engine game from a mile away. Engine "Grain" is a real phenomenon. Same for UE5. There's just something about the lighting and the FPS 'feel' that is a dead giveaway.

End of a software juggernaut. ID Software engines were always top class.

I often wonder in times like this if John Carmack and Co. feel any guilt or remorse for selling to Zenimax (Who then sold to MS)?

By all accounts they had a self-sustaining business. And now it's gone by corporate decree.

I would question how effective this would be in any kind of professional engineering setting.

Oh your math is wrong? Well i guess i cant discuss this...

Just stop trying to find logic in the hypocrisy. "Every accusation is a confession" by them rings true louder and louder with each passing day.

Precedent and reason is no longer a metric for the conservative justices. Only the party's wishes. Which means they are a political body now.

18 year term limits. Each president gets to pick 3, or something. I forget the specific number.

Any one judge per district. Our House was supposed to scale with the population. IT only makes sense that the courts should too. There should be more than 9 given how large the population is.

Throw something in there about gerrymandering. Maybe even ranked choice voting?

"Sorry we broke the law, but its ok this one time because it would be detrimental to the case".

I mean... slippery slope? Just because they were sincere about it doesnt make it magically ok to use the illegal evidence.

Basically... yeah.

It's using illegally obtained evidence (like an NSA wiretap) to point the detectives in the right direction they would have otherwise never probabilistic-ly searched.

We only need to look at the consequences (or lack thereof) from the 2008 financial crisis to understand that there will be no consequences for the corporate class.

how does this square against georgia just ignoring it draining the water supply,

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/08/georgia-data-center...

and reports of undrinkable water due to the ai center construction?

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8gy7lv448o

even in the article you linked, it admits AI data centers CAN harm water supplies

"Individual data centers can sometimes stress local water systems in the way other industries do, but when you use AI, you are not contributing to a significant problem for water management compared to most other things you do in your day to day life. "

What is the point youre trying to make?

He also posits in the popular NYT article about a data center sucking up all the water: "But the reason their taps ran dry (which the article itself says) was entirely because of sediment buildup in groundwater from construction. It had nothing to do with the data center’s normal operations (it hadn’t begun operating yet, and doesn’t even draw from local groundwater). The residents were wronged by Meta here and deserve compensation, but this is not an example of a data center’s water demand harming a local population."

And its like he claims "its not ai data centers themselves, its the construction of them" as if its an important distinction that exempts data centers from harm. It's not.

One day, the data center wasnt there, now it is. And the sudden presence of that DC caused the water problems.

Compared to ICE? Yes. EV's are still paying a premium for the battery. That's not going to change any time soon.

Compared to Ford or GM's EV trucks? It's almost 1/3 the price...

The closest comparison is like the Ford Maverick, and that starts at 29.
